This is the first major step to overhauling the player engine, once that's done we can begin improving instances of some of the way this functionality worked in the past. What we have not been saying is that we've begun overhauling everything in Media Composer for a few years now and users will start seeing improvements for performance as the overhaul gets rolled out. This started with 64 bit, the UI and open I/O. The Video engine in Pro Tools is the next step. There is a lot of under the hood investment going on for performance. The audio waveform improvements in MC 7 is another example.

He indicated that there is latency and a reduced frame rate which he estimated at 5 fps. Apparently, this was NOT a problem pre-v.6 -- so maybe it broke in the transition to 64-bit.
